I had braces for exactly one year feb 2004-feb 2005 Then had the

surgery Feb23 and was wired shut with a splint for 6 weeks. Then

unwired but had the splint in 2 more weeks. My dr. usually takes

braces off around three months post op. So, my whole process has been

about 1 year and 6 months. I hope this helps.

I have had braces for 27 months with surgery scheduled for June

28th. I am expecting to be in braces for at least 6 months to a year

after surgery.

Best of Luck!!
